Answer 8

Hmm, choices: :)

Pop culture:

--Travel back in time and convince Sony to either a) not get in the damn video game business, or b) to at least have the decency to make a *decent controller* for their Playstation as opposed to the diagonal-free Four Chiclets of Doom and All That Fiddly Crap we have to deal with *now*.

--as long as we are doing time travel, go back further, convince Paris Hilton that her popeyed features really *do* make her disfigured and that she's best off working for the good of humankind, being charitable behind the scenes *and out of the public eye*. ;)

--*Kill* the first hip-hoppers to "invent" crunk. 'Nuff said.

--Talk Marvel Comics into *not* hiring Brian Michael Bendis. Guy seems to ruin everything he touches these days, in terms of characters.

Social/Political:

--Travel back to G.W. Bush's frat-boy, drunk and drug using days, find him good and sauced,...and give him the keys, letting him drive and *kill himself* some 10, 20 years ago. Problem solved with a minimum of drama. :)

--Show Ronald Reagan film footage of 9-11 (back in 1980, during his first year of his first term as President), tell him this is all *his* fault. Same with footage of New Orleans, post-Hurricane Katrina.

Biology and Human Evolution: (seeing as how this is *Posted* under Biology)

--force the religious fundies (of any and all faiths, ok?) to *devolve* in accordance with their stated desires. Watch them get progressively dumber and more helpless as they slowly degenerate into quadruped *herd animals* like they *say* they wanna be. Laugh. Hard. :))

--Increase and amplify the human neoteny factor, as is currently expressed, so that the human (read: genus Homo) trend towards more and more prolonged/permanent immaturity increases at an accelerated pace.

The Good News: we all end up being *freaking geniuses*.

The Bad News: we all have such messed up proportions that we all have to be born Caesarian Section because we end up looking like anime characters at best, and like Bratz dolls at worst.

The Ugly News: permanently infantile brains not only mean we learn everything faster and are cuter in general for longer in our lives....it also means we are more emotionally hair trigger. Just so you know.

--Four words: nano-scale nuclear metabolism. As in, our cellular mitochondria learn a new trick....how to do *nitrogen fusion*, one molecule (per cell) at a time, and to use that energy to literally make us supermen.

Hope this helps, and thanks for your time! :)
